The purpose of this research study is to analyze the strategies and actions that hotels apply for the management of solid waste in the restaurant and event areas. The methodology used was the bibliographic review, beginning with an analysis of national and international academic sources about solid waste management applied in different hotels worldwide. The study identifies the processes that occur in the restaurant and hotel event areas; with the information collected, the main types of solid waste generated in this type of accommodation were identified. Finally, the economic, environmental and social benefits provided by solid waste management are detailed. Regarding the results, it was established that the main strategies applied by the accommodations affect the training of guests and collaborators, as well as strengthen an environmental awareness, promote recycling and the creation of environmental programs. It is established that, although the hotels are responsible for managing their waste, if there is no previous environmental education for both customers and staff, the strategies will not be successful and in both cases the influence of culture and education is notorious. Therefore, even when the strategies may already be defined, the employees must be constantly trained, since they are responsible for implementing them correctly, by interacting directly with the guests and handling or managing solid waste. It is concluded that, to guarantee the effectiveness of the strategies, they must be adapted to the hotels, taking into account their infrastructure, volume of waste, number of workers and types of events.
